Chuck Schumer: ‘The Ghost of the Disgraced Jeffrey Epstein Is Haunting Our Republican Colleagues’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “Now, meanwhile, yesterday was truly a sorry sight in the House of Representatives. The ghost of the disgraced Jeffrey Epstein is haunting our Republican colleagues so much so that Speaker Johnson decided to cut bait and send the House home to escape discussions about Epstein, instead of doing their jobs like grown-ups and making progress on appropriations. By shutting Congress down early, Speaker Johnson has assured that August has become the Epstein Recess, because this issue is going to grow and grow and grow the longer House Republicans dodge this issue. Now, maybe they declared the Epstein Recess to give Trump time to prepare papers for the pardon of Ghislaine Maxwell. Speaker Johnson shouldn’t be skedaddling out of town early.”
